So, what is your favourite song in the history of songs? You can only pick one. Choose wisely!
I pick Pachelbel's Canon in D.
(I realize it is basically, well, impossible to pick just one song. But if you had to, what would it be?)

Damn. I was going to say that because the many genres of music I cannot do that. But you foreseen that coming. :wink:Quote:

Yeah, pick just one. Here's one way to think about it: If you knew that the next song you were going to listen to would be the last song you would ever listen to, what song would you pick?
I just thought it would be interesting to see which songs people would choose if they could only have one.
Sooo hard, but I've made my choice!
OK then.
INKS .Never tear us apart.
This was one of my favorite songs before I got married. Then it was our wedding song. So that is my pick.
I have never heard of yours. :oops: Is it instrumental?
(I noticed in your interests. You like STP.
I thought you may find it interesting that he attended a high school in my conference.
I have seen them Four times now. They are awesome, or were :? )
During the one show he gave a shout out to all the people in Chagrin Falls. It was cool.
Here's a link about Canon in D. It is an incredibly famous song, I'm surprised you haven't heard of it, but you would probably recognize the tune if you listen to it. Yes, it is instrumental, it was composed in 1680 by Johann Pachelbel, and is one of the most famous baroque pieces. Its usually played at weddings and those type of events, and it certainly will be played at my wedding if I ever marry. I first heard it when I played it in orchestra in elementary school, and I have been in love with it ever since.Quote:

I actually was born and went to high school in Ohio, and I played against Chagrin Falls in the 2004 state championship soccer game (we won, of course :P ) Small world!
Speaking of Canon in D: check this out.
My personal favorite song of all time has to be "One Blood" by Terance Jay (I think).
"Offend In Every Way" by The White Stripes
Im trying to, but it won't load for some reason. Argh. :mad:Quote:

Here
Annihilation of the Wicked, by Nile.
Aqua - Barbie Girl
you can't possibly be serious.
Why not :?
uhhh... maybe because its the most annoying song. EVER.
I would be in heaven if I could have that playing in the background 24/7. I have it as a single on CD and set it to repeat on my walkman all day.
some say the type of music one listens to reflects their personality directly.
Others say I am kidding and it is obvious.
it appears you have contradicted your own sarcasm post.
well done.
It really is hard to narrow it down to just one. I have thought about this a lot, and I recently came to a conclusion about what I think my #1 favorite song is.
"Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac
BT - Remember [ESCM 12" mix]
That was honestly the first song that took me to another realm and sparked my passion in Electronica. It still gives me goosebumps to this day. It's not the most complicated song in the world but it sure makes me feel good. I can always get the energy to continue the struggle after listening to that song.
BT - Not Over Yet (BT's Spirit of Grace)
BT featuring Jan Johnston - Sunblind
...would be a close runner ups. (Notice a pattern? LOL)
Then go to youtube.com and look up... oh, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM A friend of mine sent it to me a short time ago.Quote:

I agree, that's a really good song Amethyst.
Have you heard the mix from Ferry Corsten on his Infinite Euphoria Disc 2 from William Orbit's - 'Barbers Adagio for Strings' into Prodigy's- 'Smack My Bitch Up'? Absolutely brilliant contrast that any DJ has to respect...Give it a listen if you get a chance.
Ya, already did that, that's not working either. I think my comp has decided to stop loading media files. Blah.Quote:

"The Theft" by Atreyu
I don't know; I love a lot of songs.
Yes, Echoes by Pink Floyd is definitely great. Although I must say Canon in D is a close one. I'm going to go for.. Pink Floyd - Echoes though. Time by Pink Floyd is also great.
Aaargh, damn you and your pick one song thing!
Nice Pick Tweak :goodjob2: yeah "Echoes" would probably be my number 1 as well. But I'll have to think a little harder to make sure I haven't missed anything. BRB...
Beethoven ninth symphony fourth movement, or Vide cor meum from hannibal lecter film Hannibal.
I'm happy of the Pink Floyd support here :content:
Echoes is great but personally I'd like to die to
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond."
Oh yes.
Hahaha. Finally watched the Pachelbel rant. Hilarious.
For anyone who loves guitars and Canon in D, watch this. Sooo cool. I'll bet a lot have already seen it, but for those that haven't, enjoy.
Vermillion pt. 2 by SLipknot
it's haunting
Here also, is a tribute song not long after 9/11 happened. It's a cover song for Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here
http://youtube.com/watch?v=v9iZwhPEVfM
Salty Dog by Flogging Molly. Based on the Kesh Jig, traditional Irish stuff.
I could spend all the time in the world trying to come up with the most musically complex and powerful song I know, but why bother. That's the one I enjoy most. 'Specially 'cuz it's about pirates.
That's the way to do it. :goodjob2:Quote:

my favorite song.. (which isnt the thread i know) is.. uhmm..... hmm... id havta say .....Changing of the Seasons by Darling Waste (www.purevolume.com search Darling Waste)
I want Echoes to be played at my funeral. My funeral would only last 11 minutes though. There'd be a big sign above the casket: "If you do not enjoy the song being played, leave. kthxbai."Quote:

Actually, that's exactly what this thread is about...I meant to see what people would choose if they could only pick ONE song to listen to (say you are about to die), and I assume people would pick their favorite song instead of the "best" song, you know? Really, they should be the same song in the way I'm construing "best," which is "what gives you the most pleasure." Obviously, there are other interpretations that might yield different answers, but that's the sense in which I meant it.Quote:

I've given this careful consideration, and I have determined it to be "Hocus Pocus" by the Dutch (?) group Focus. One of the few rock songs with yodelling.
My English teacher asked us once what would be the last song we'd listen to if we were about to die. I also said "Shine on you crazy diamond" and my answer is unchanged. It's not actually my favourite song, but it would definitely be the last I'd listen to.Quote:

And yes, Focus was a Dutch band. There is a lot of good classic rock that was never that famous in the United States.Quote:

:goodjob: :bravo: Wow that was so cool thanks Universal Mind! I really enjoyed that. Imagine being able to see Focus playing Hocus Pocus--the Internet is a wonderful thing. It never occurred to me...you can find anything you want...
P.S. Was that Gladys Knight introducing them?
wow im not sure because i dont listen to much music at all..
Yeah, that was Gladys Knight. I don't know what show it was. I never knew Gladys Knight hosted a show. I found it on Youtube. You can find all kinds of stuff there, and I will spend hours at a time searching for things like that. There is stuff on Youtube I thought the world would never see again, but now we can see it.Quote:
